Intel Core i3-1215U vs Intel N97

Core i3-1215U vs N97 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-1215U is faster than the N97. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the N97 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-1215U has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the N97 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the N97. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the N97 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-1215U. In terms of cache, the Core i3-1215U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the N97. The Core i3-1215U also has significantly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-1215U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
